Celerity Accounting
Celerity started in 2022 as a side hustle and has grown into a tech-forward, fast-moving firm that’s anything but traditional. We believe people, not spreadsheets, are the real key to success in the accounting world. Our team is central to every client win and every great experience we deliver.
At Celerity, you’ll work closely with business owners and their internal teams, primarily via Google Meet, Slack, and email. Most of our clients aren’t finance pros—they rely on us to explain the numbers clearly and guide them with practical, real-world advice.
In a typical week, our accountants spend:
~60% of their time doing the actual accounting tasks
~30% communicating directly with clients
~10% in internal meetings and ongoing training
If you’re looking for a place where client relationships matter just as much as clean financials and where innovation and tech make the work smoother, you’ll fit right in here.
